Not sure if anything changed but lobby balancing in Control feels truly awful
Feels like 4/5 games are blowouts. I’m an above average player so usually my Control sessions feel like 3 Losses where we had no chance, 1 close game W or L, and 1 W where we mercy them.
Lobby balancing has generally felt bad for me for the past few years when the mm started to get constantly tinkered with but it had moments where it was bearable. Since EoF though, Control feels like it’s non-stop frustration.
The handful of games of comp I’ve played have felt fun. Haven’t done Trials yet but looking forward to soon as that has always felt rewarding to me. Maybe Control is not meant for players like me anymore? Maybe Bungie wants players like me herded toward comp/trials. That would suck cause I love to casually play PvP in a normal sandbox but I guess if I want a casual mode I gotta play the party mode :(

Edited by Golden: 8/11/2025 4:55:52 AMSomething’s definitely off with the matchmaking in Control. Every game is a sweat fest of people holding hands, playing like their life is on the line, high KD enemy players on the enemy team while putting the most potato Jims on your team. Even trials and comp are less sweaty than control right now 💀

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER: The player base keeps dwindling and it’s left basically no room for casuals which drove the majority of them away as well! This has basically led into a playerbase that only has two types of players,those dedicated to either PvP or PvE and a smaller group of casuals/average players. TL;DR: Matches are bad,too little people,either sweat or suffer.

Because now laggers play against laggers, too. Now many "top" players see how it is for the most other players, when your bullets don't do normal damage, bad hit registration, lag, etc.
